Liu Bei finally felt the importance of strategists again.

The last time I felt so obviously was when Jia Xu pointed out the general trend of his past few years.

Now Liu Ye's words made his whole person instantly feel that he had grasped a new trend, he looked at Liu Ye, his eyes were shining, and he said clearly: "Ziyang, I understand."

What do you think we should do now? ”

Liu Ye heard Liu Bei say about us, and understood that Liu Bei had recognized himself, so he asked: "Xuande Gong, then the question arises now, which piece can you accept to lose in this Qingzhou lost land?" ”

Liu Bei said categorically: "Taishan County and Yinghou Kingdom naturally can't be lost, if you lose these two places, even if you enter Xuzhou, it will be difficult to defend it." ”

Liu Ye nodded in agreement, and said seriously: "Since Xuande Gong can see it, then Ye will say it directly."

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are all heroes in the world, but who is more threatening?

Yuan Shao!

Now that Yuan Shao has defeated Gongsun Chan and has Lu Bu as an ally, can Gongsun Chan still be able to defeat Yuan Shao later? ”

Liu Bei thought of his brother, and shook his head helplessly, he still failed in good times, and in adversity, he could see from the last time he opened his horn that his brother was really not a person who could be stubborn in adversity.

Liu Ye said in a deep voice: "Since the Duke of Xuande also recognizes that Gongsun Zhan will fail, then let's calculate according to Yuan Shao's already occupied Youji Prefecture, plus Lu Bu's annexation and Cao Cao's Yanzhou, even if we have Qingxu Prefecture, will we be able to fight against Yuan Shao's alliance?" ”

Liu Bei's face changed again, he knew that Liu Ye still had something to say, Liu Ye said: "So finding allies is the most critical issue."

Yuan Shu, greedy and violent, is like a water ghost in the road, but it is just a dry bone in the grave!

Forming an alliance with him, the final outcome is like this war, and the final result is defeat.

Xuande Gong, you should stick to Mount Tai, knock Cao Cao to death, and let Cao Cao know that even if you die, you will never let Cao Cao have the slightest chance to enter Qingzhou.

Then let the northern part of Qingzhou be in Yuan Shao, make Yuan Shao bigger, and finally ally Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao! ”

Liu Bei was directly stunned when he heard this, "Ziyang, this Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are allies, how can they ally with us?" ”

Liu Ye sneered and said, "What ally?

It's just to take what they need and huddle together to keep warm.

Yuan Shao seized Youzhou in the north, Qingzhou in the east, and what about in the south?

Only Yanzhou!

Is Cao Cao really willing to dedicate his hard-earned foundation to Yuan Shao?

Is he willing, and all the civil and military officials under his command are willing?

Moreover, when Dong Zhuo was killed, Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou, and Cao Cao led the army to chase the emperor, was he really to save the emperor and become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?

Didn't he also want to learn from Li Dao and Guo Yan, who coerced the emperor and ordered the princes?

Once Yuan Shao was overpowered, Cao Cao had only two choices, the first was to strengthen himself, and the second was to find allies.

This is why Ye wants you to knock Cao Cao to death, this is why he told Cao Cao in Minghuang, you can strengthen your strength, but don't come to Taishan County, don't come to provoke me Liu Xuande, otherwise even if you die, you will have to pull Cao Cao into the water together.

If he could not find land in the east, Cao Cao would definitely go to Sizhou in the west, or Yuzhou in the south.

It is impossible for him to fight on two fronts, so as the largest prince in the east, Cao Cao will definitely send envoys to form an alliance.

At that time, Yuan Shao will fight on two fronts, if he can still contact Gongsun Chan to attack together, even if Gongsun Chan is defeated, he can also contact Yan State to attack Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao will be attacked on three sides.

Yan State seized the entire territory of Youzhou, Cao Cao seized Jizhou, and our army took the opportunity to recapture Qingzhou and Bohai County. ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei was thrilled by Liu Ye's words, he had never felt that the general trend of the world was so clear, and he couldn't help but praise Liu Ye, who was talking eloquently: "Ziyang is really my Liu's Qilin talent!"

I don't know if Ziyang is willing to assist and revitalize the Han family! ”

This is a solicitation, Liu Ye bowed directly and said, "Ye to see the lord!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly helped Liu Ye up and said: "Ziyang is polite, with Ling's talent, this is my Liu Bei's great luck." ”

Guan Yu and the others reacted, looking at Liu Ye in surprise, they didn't know how the brain of the person in front of them was long, they couldn't think of what they said just now.

Liu Ye entered Liu Bei's camp, his status is completely different, he is a relative of the Liu family, although he joined a little later, but he is naturally similar to the status of Guan Yu and others, similar to the Xiahou clan and the Cao generals around Cao Cao.

According to his identity, if Liu Bei really became the emperor, Liu Ye would at least be able to restore the ancestral marquis title.

If he can really make unprecedented achievements, it is not impossible to restore the princes and kings of his ancestors.

After all, his surname is Liu, and he is not bound by the White Horse Alliance, which is Liu Ye's natural advantage.

This is the reason why Liu Ye defected to Liu Bei, but if there are really big heroes in the Liu clan, who wants to go to the hands of foreign surnames to mix?

After chatting about the general trend of the future, Liu Bei knew that the meal should be eaten in one bite, and asked: "Ziyang, I already know the general trend of the future, now it's time to talk about what to do next." ”

Liu Ye pondered for a moment before saying: "Lord, Ye thinks that the most important thing now is to save strength, and it is best to withdraw most of the military horses to Taishan County as soon as possible to guard the gateway from Yanzhou to Qingzhou."

While Yuan Shao had not yet attacked Qingzhou, everything that could be moved from Qingzhou was moved away as soon as possible, especially all kinds of craftsmen and so on.

These people are the most important resource, far more than the rest of the work. ”

Liu Bei nodded, what Liu Ye said was exactly what he thought, after Liu Ye explained the future trend in detail, he no longer wanted to engage in these meaningless wars with Cao Cao on the battlefield of Yanzhou.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said: "I will send a letter to Cao Cao and tell him that I am waiting for him in Taishan County, and we will fight to the death there, so that Cao Cao is somewhat mentally prepared." ”

Everyone was stunned and didn't know what Liu Bei wanted to do, only Liu Ye reacted and smiled secretly.

Liu Bei said again: "It's not so simple to want to retreat from the army, seeing that we are about to win a big victory, how can we let us get away easily?"

Yide, you will lead 3,000 men and horses to break down, so that the army can escape.

Yun Chang, you led the army back to Mount Tai with me, ready for battle.

Zilong, you lead five thousand elite horsemen to the north of Qingzhou, and bring back those craftsmen, as well as those people who are willing to follow us away.

Without further ado, let's get started now. ”

Zhang Fei is the best at this kind of chaotic war, and after the break, he is the elite, and when he heard the task given to him by his eldest brother, he immediately responded: "Yes!" ”

Everyone responded in awe, and now this moment of life and death must be a race against time.

Liu Beijun's abnormal movements soon attracted the attention of Cao Jun, and everyone in Cao Jun thought that Liu Bei was going to fight as hard as he could.

But soon everyone reacted, Liu Bei was going to withdraw the army!

Cao Cao immediately laughed loudly and said: "This Liu Xuande, as soon as he saw that things were not good, he ran away, when he faced Zhang Jiao, it was also Liu Xuande who saw that the situation was not good, so I asked them to flee for their lives, everyone in the world said that Liu Xuande had the style of Emperor Gao, and other aspects did not find it, but this escape kung fu really had the demeanor of Emperor Gao facing King Xiang." ”

Hearing Cao Cao ridiculing Liu Bei, and bringing Emperor Gao Liu Bang in his words, everyone laughed loudly, not to mention that he is now the Later Han.

Even in the former Han Dynasty, the most respected holy king was Emperor Xiaowen and Xiaowu, mainly because the founding fathers were too fierce, and the later Empress Gao and King Luowen were also too strong, which greatly divided Liu Bang's demeanor.

"Lord, there is a letter from Liu Xuande."

Everyone was laughing, and a letter was sent in outside the tent, Cao Cao didn't expect Liu Bei to write a letter to himself, so he opened it in front of everyone to take a look, Liu Bei's words were not intense, but he just sighed that Cao Cao's life was good and he met an ally like Yuan Shao.

Seeing this, Cao Cao only thought that Liu Bei was hard-mouthed, and he wanted to raise his head and laugh again.

But at the end of the letter, Liu Bei wrote: "I returned to Mount Tai, I knew that Meng De wanted to enter Yanzhou with Mount Tai, I waited for Meng De to lead the army to come in Mount Tai, 100,000 Qingzhou athletes, all in Taishan County, and Meng De to fight to the death, if Taishan County fell, Bei will die, hope to prepare for the death, Meng De for the sake of convergence, with the friendship of all former comrades!"

Alas.

How did you and I get to where we are today?

I really miss the old days when I had a good time drinking. ”

Cao Cao originally just thought that Liu Bei was talking ruthlessly, but after reading it again, he frowned deeply, the death will in these words was too strong, which made Cao Cao a little uncomfortable.

Xun Yu saw Cao Cao's expression and knew that Liu Bei must have said something in the letter, so he asked, "Lord, can you give Yu a look at the letter?" ”

Cao Cao handed the letter in his hand to Xun Yu, Xun Yu read it quickly, and also frowned deeply, he was much smarter than Cao Cao, and suddenly read some of the hidden flavors in this letter, which was passed on among Cao Cao's advisers.

Guo Jia and Xun You are both good at this kind of trickery, and they suddenly read the meaning of Liu Bei's words, this is to use all the troops to hold Taishan County, if they go to attack, then be prepared to lose both.

Xun You is Cao Cao's mastermind, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Lord, there are some speculations about what Liu Bei pointed out in the letter, but what to do depends on Liu Bei's actions afterwards, but this is probably not a good thing for us and others."

Lord, you must be mentally prepared, the matter of seizing Taishan County that you are thinking about now may change. ”

Seeing that all the strategists he trusted most silently nodded, Cao Cao knew that his intuition was indeed correct, "This hateful Liu Da'er wants to make trouble for me!"

Let's see what he can do.

Want to go, where is it so easy?

Pursue! ”
